Black mug with the components of the LHC

When heated, a proton collision appears

Roughly 1:100000 scale

Generally, when something bad happens at our day-to-day jobs, alarmists don't freak out that we might cause a black hole. For us, we take bad photos? We write bad copy? We buy bad products? Things don't sell. Very different than meeting an event horizon head-on, which is what some folks worried about when the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was switched on.

Keep a tiny version of this testament to collaboration in science on your desk. The six major components of the LHC are printed around the circumference of this black mug. When heated, a visualization of a proton-proton collision, the type recorded by Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector, appears on the mug, possibly producing your own personal Higgs boson!
